A second reports by NFL insider Ian Rapoport says the Texans are also planning to sign former Cleveland Browns starting quarterback Brian Hoyer. The Michigan State University product started the season as a stable force for the Browns, leading them to a 7-4 record before ultimately being benched in favor of Johnny Manziel. The Browns finished the season 7-9.

The #Texans have agreed to terms with QB Ryan Mallett, source said. So it’ll be Hoyer & Mallett in Houston.

But the deal between Hoyer and Houston isn't set it stone. ESPN's Adam Schedter says while Hoyer is planning on signing with Houston, he will still field an offer from the New York Jets today. If Hoyer went to New York, he'd contend with turnover-prone Geno Smith for the starting job. He'd likely be contending with Mallett for the starting job in Houston.

Still a good chance QB Brian Hoyer winds up in Houston, but his agent still is negotiating with the Jets and NY will be given a chance here.
